The figure has long dark hair and a white forehead marking, and holds the trident upright with one arm. Nearby, a seated woman in a white sari with red border holds a lit oil lamp in her cupped hands, and another woman beside her joins her palms in prayer. A young child is held by a woman in a pink top. Behind them stand several people in saris and shirts, and a photographer in white kneels near the front, plus a standing man in white. A brass plate with offerings sits on the floor, and a telephone is mounted on the wall at the top left. Walls are plain cream with grilled windows.
